When I was in my final year of high school, I had a casual, but revealing conversation with one of my besties about our futures.
And she said something that blew my mind. She said, ‘I’m going to have a fabulous sports car’. And I remember thinking, ‘Ha. Well, I’m not’.
Not because I didn’t WANT one. But because I thought of myself as someone who couldn’t have that kinda thing. It simply didn’t enter my consciousness that something like that was possible for 'someone like me'.
But my friend was bought up by a single mum. So she wasn’t used to having lots of money, or fabulous fancy things either.
But she strongly believed that she could - in fact, that she WOULD - have those things.
We were both 17.
We were both super smart and highly competent.
We both had our full adult lives ahead of us.
She was thinking big. Bigger than she’d ever lived.
I was thinking small. Limited by what I’d already experienced.
And guess what happened?
She got her sports car. And so much more.
My friend's passionate belief in what was possible meant she guided herself towards it. She created it.
I, on the other hand, lived in a pretty small world. A world that I unconsciously limited for myself, before the actual world ever had a chance to do it for me!
I'd been the dux of my school. I COULD have used this to fuel a belief that I actually had MORE opportunity available to me than anyone else in my year.
But I didn’t. Because I couldn’t see past my own previous experience. Which meant I recreated the same limitations for myself over and over again.
Until I learned how not to.
Growth and expansion REQUIRES that we create something that did not exist before. And in order to allow that to happen with ease and flow, we need to align ourselves to the possibility of it BEFORE we can see it in our lived experience.
Saying affirmations that you don’t believe won't get you there.
Trying to force your mind to believe things that it does not think are possible won't get you there either.
But when you work with your own energy to clear out your past traumas, wounds, paradigms, beliefs, ideas and meanings, you open the door to the things that really you want, but are not yet living.
That’s how you do it.
